98 S10 PU 2.2l Voltage Fluctuations

Howdy. This is my first post.

My battery light came on recently and whenever I used the radio, AC, etc. the voltage would drop and drop until the truck just finally died on me. I replaced the alternator and serpentine belt and it seems to have done the trick but...

Now the dashboard voltage meter fluctuates between 14 and a little above 9. It again seems to be whenever I use the radio, etc. but even the turn signal will cause it to drop. It also takes a second or two to turnover in the morning whereas previously it was instantaneous (turn the key - engine is on) I checked all of the electrical connections to the alternator and they seem to be fine.

Im planning a trip soon so, any help y'all could give would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Napoleon
